# Location settings

> Configuration and team for your active location.

Location settings covers configuration and team for your active location.

<Note>
  Only **Location Admins** and above can open this page.
</Note>

## Why your active location matters

Most records in OfficeRidge are location-scoped. Your active location filters what you see across
Members, Employees, Scheduling, and most other modules.

<Warning>
  A missing member or employee is more often a location-context problem than a missing record. Check
  your active location before concluding something was deleted.
</Warning>

## Location Team

Staff assigned to this location — who are also part of the organization team.

A person can be on the organization team without being assigned to a particular location. Location
assignment is what determines whose records they work with day to day.

## Assigning staff to a location

<Steps>
  <Step title="Confirm they are on the organization team">
    Organization membership comes first. See
    [Organization settings](/account/organization-settings).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add them to the location team">
    This scopes their day-to-day view to this location's records.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm their role">
    Location assignment controls which records; role controls which modules. See
    [Roles and permissions](/getting-started/roles-and-permissions).
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Working across locations

If you work at more than one location, you change your active location rather than holding both at
once. Staff who genuinely need an organization-wide view usually need an organization-level role
instead.

<Note>
  Multi-location support requires the **Professional** plan; multi-location management is an
  **Enterprise** feature. See [Plans and modules](/getting-started/plans-and-modules).

## Troubleshooting

| Problem                                        | What to check                                                      |
| ---------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| I cannot open Location settings                | It requires Location Admin or above.                               |
| A colleague cannot see this location's members | They may be on the organization team but not this location's team. |
| Records disappeared after switching location   | They belong to the other location. Switch back.                    |
| I need to see all locations at once            | That needs an organization-level role, not a location assignment.  |
